Thanks all
Re: Red cockpit -- It looked weird clear, and I wanted something to match the striking red of my other units (the sails, etc). You can still see through it slightly, the bomber pilot is somewhat visible in the light (and his "hud" is also filled in so you can see it). It was an experimentation all around to see hot it worked out, I tinted from the inside so the outside is still very glossy.
Overall I'm pretty happy with it. It will look great with all the fliers on the table in a kill squadron
